Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"There were times when your second uncle was very spiteful, Har. And he finally satisfied his hatred by administering aphrodisiacs to your father's friend. Made him impregnate a girl and have to marry her. Even though your father's friend was married and has a son. But your father's friend had to leave his wife and child, for their happiness. Then since that incident, the relationship between him and your father became fractured and could never be reunited."

Harry realized something quickly.

"Who? What is dad's friend's name? Is that man... named Robbyanto?"

Daniawan showed his surprise. Though he didn't wonder how Harry could have guessed this. But Harry's ability to digest the situation was the quickest and most accurate. Especially after the incident that happened to his wife.

Even Daniawan knew that all the bad incidents that have happened to them are the result of Robbyanto's actions, who are still not the recipient of his bad luck in terms of having a family.

Harry's voice turned quivering.

His legs staggered a little as a result of Daniawan's words. He had always believed that his father was a good human being. He couldn't possibly harm other people, especially his own best friend, for no good reason.

"So… the man who poisoned Robby was the second uncle? Then, because of the close sibling relationship between father and second uncle. Even if it's only in my father's mind. He saved his brother by sacrificing himself instead?"

Daniawan suppressed his anxiety that Harry might find things about Muliawan. He didn't want to make matters worse. But, how could he hide his first brother's kindness?

Shut up and didn't argue. Harry took that Daniawan's motionless actions as an answer that his statement was true.

Harry took a step back to digest the news.

Confused between he was having to praise the cleverness or stupidity of his second uncle. Harry was now starting to wonder, what kind of human genius was his uncle? Good at using his brain for brilliant things. But so careless in using his ingenuity perfectly?

Cleo was feeling restless.

"Are you alright? And should we stop this discussion?"

Cleo approached Harry and touched his hand. Did not wanting to let a bigger depressed face appear on her husband's frustrated face.

Harry shook his head weakly.

"I'm well. And please continue with all of the uncle's statements just now."

Cleo stepped back. Gave them space to continue the conversation. Daniawan glanced at everyone one by one then continued.

Daniawan sighed first.

"I just hope that this issue will never be brought up by anyone again. End it only up to my story earlier. And forget about it all."

Harry smirked.

"How can I forget it and pretend I never heard of it? Then why did uncle have to cover it up? And why is my father the one who has to endure all of Robbyanto's hatred?"

"Perhaps my father never had the chance to feel hatred and revenge from him. But with strong determination, Robbyanto has tried hard to destroy Gunawan's son's business. Have created a ruckus, and his daughter even unintentionally avenged of her father on an innocent person."

Harry still couldn't deny that Aretta also had a big hand in this matter. Although Robbyanto very confidently and firmly stated that it was not such a bad plan that he wanted.

Daniawan couldn't hide his guilt.

"I did all that at your father's demand."

"But still as a neutral party, you shouldn't listen to my father's demand! My father's good name is tarnished! And the Second Uncle's hatred wasn't ignited just because of this stupid kindness! Can you understand it?!"

Harry's eyes kept flashing.

"Then, the result of his troublesome actions in the past. Robby must bear great freedom by marrying Nadderine. Was giving birth to Martharine and almost ruining my wife's life."

Cleo felt like she could scream. But she firmly held it in. Covering mouth with both hands. And bitting her tongue so as did not to overreact.

Everyone seemed surprised to find out that Martha was an out-of-wedlock child.

Concerned about Robbyanto's fate. And began to wonder who Robby's first wife and biological child were. What was the condition of the continuation of the fate of the small family after being abandoned? And how that bad luck brought other bad luck for years after.

Harry stepped forward.

"I won't just let it go, uncle. He probably deserves what he deserves."

No one has interrupted yet.

"I will teach him a valuable lesson. And I will open his mind wide so as not to act recklessly."

Harry ignored everyone's dumbfounded stares.

Pulling away Cleo's hand and completely ignoring their anxiety. Cleo just watched Harry's tense face with a concerned look. Realized that Harry was currently in a very stressful situation.

Lily approached her husband and asked with a confused expression. After she thought that they should minimize the situation.

"My husband, you're going to let him go in this way? You won't prevent him? And trying to calm his irritated mind? Aren't you worried that Harry might do something reckless and dangerous?"

Christina and Kiky looked at their cousin's departure with mixed feelings. Not knowing who be defend, and trusting toward whose abilities.

Kiky could only say a line of sentences after a long time of just being silent and observing.

"I'm sure Harry Brother won't do as bad and reckless as we feared."

Daniawan agreed. Surrender to fate and did not want to quickly assume badly. Even though his mind was currently racing with anxiety.

Daniawan patted Kiky's shoulder and hoped.

"I hope so, my son. Then, let's prioritize grandmother's awareness first. And let Harry sort this thing out the way he wanted. However, I will keep an eye on him and not let anything worse happen."

Christina was busy surfing social media to find more information about her second uncle's news. He also agreed and threw a few sentences.

"Of course, I think so too. Because no one can overcome Harry's stubbornness, even if it is himself."

Kiky gave her a strange look.

"Does it include a sentence with a certain connotation? Why does that statement sound stupid? And how bad is our cousin?"

Christina sneered. Ignored Kiky. And looked away to another side. They all then looked forward to Sofia's consciousness with anxious anticipation.

***

Cleo didn't stop showing her great concern for Harry's bad feelings. Conscious that she could not provide much comfort and prevent a bad situation from happening.

Cleo grabbed Harry's other hand so that it merged with his other hand which Harry continued to use to hold Cleo's hand. Stopped their stride together earlier. And stared straight at the pitch-black sphere with positive thoughts.

Harry watched Cleo's movement in silence and waited. Realized that Cleo wouldn't start talking until she did. Harry suddenly spoke curtly.

"What's going on? Did I scare you?"

Harry showed renewed anxiety. He was really emotional at this time. But he didn't expect that Cleo would feel uncomfortable due to his anger from earlier.

Cleo stroked Harry's hand gently. It just meant to give strength. But that warmth caused a frown to appear in the middle of the space between Harry's two thick eyebrows.

"You're holding my hand too tightly. Are you cognizant of that?"

Harry looked down. He lowered his gaze to their hand and felt guilty. Harry widened his eyes even bigger to check the physical condition of Cleo's hands.

"Does it really hurt? You want me to take you to the hospital first for treatment?" he asked so seriously.

Cleo precisely felt a kind of deja vu. Where this incident seems to have happened before. But when exactly Cleo could not remember. Although she was very sure that Harry had also forcibly pulled his hand away because he was carried away by emotions.

Cleo cleared her throat softly.

"The situation might not be that serious."

And up to this moment, Cleo couldn't understand why the word of the hospital came out of Harry's thin, rough lips so easily. Although, Harry was more often be arrogant. But when he realized Cleo might be hurt by him, he always easily melted.

Could lower his emotions and turned into so caring. Cleo then behaved a little mischievously.

"But, aren't you exits in the mood to go see your second uncle? I'm sure your problem is very important. And I can't get in your way." Cleo deliberately put on a sad face.

Harry gasped.
